At the back entrance to the old Palladium on E. 14 Street in Manhattan, on 29 October 1981, Frank was signing autographs when a fan offered him a hit on a joint. "No thanks," said Frank. "That stuff makes you stupid."

I'm not surprised, Frank didn't drink or do drugs. He only smoked cigs (the tobacco kind).

Once I met a guy who rooted a girl who knew a guy who was once told by an acquaintance that when Frank Zappa was out here in the 70s his friend had asked him if he wanted to go to the show but he couldn't because he had to work or something.

Frank turned down a joint?? I always thought the guy was ripped from morning till night. He HAD to be high to do some of that crazy stuff he did! Go figure.

he didn't think he did drugs. but little did he know the US govenerment was putting LSD in his coffee in hopes of enslaving Cubans who would be getting tax free healthcare in former Czechoslovakia. CONSPIRACIES!!!

Nope, I think people with a west coast mentality have a gift for flakiness that allows them to "let loose" creatively, naturally, where as some more anal-retentive types "serious" musicians need chemical aids. If Frank did anything, it would be for fun, not that he really needed it for work inspiration.
Ahhhh, but we all know his poison was coffee and cigarettes and mary-j didn't even factor, (he's only taken it about 10 times apparently and wasn't a fan)

So you're saying groups like Aerosmith were anal-retentive?
Led Zeppelin too?
What about Kiss?
Bob Marley?
Jefferson Airplane?
Eric Clapton? (O.K. maybe)
The Kinks?
Rod Stewart?
Elton John?
The Beatles as well?
Come on......
Who do you think made Pablo Escobar rich in the first place?
